Hi Megan - gosh MILs can be insensitive cant they. I know it is easier said than done but dont let what she said worry you - her comment was so not called for. You have to do what is right for you and Lucas and if that meant getting a new pram well too bad I say. I think it is amazing how MILS have an uncanny knack of saying things that annoy.

V - I would definitely rather my mum look after the kids than MIL. For me it is just that I know my mum better than my MIL (obviously LOL) so I feel more comfortable knowing she has the kids and my mum knows the kids routines (and respects them) and like you said I know I want my children raised the way she raised me. MILS are funny things and that is putting it politely LOL. Enjoy your picnic.

Me - well I had dinner with my birthmother and it went really well - I always stress myself out beforehand and it always ends up being really nice catching up with her - although I feel like we spent most of the time chasing Jesse as we were at a house that had lots of nice things about and I was worried he would break something! I had two glasses of Moet over dinner and today I feel like I have a hangover - how sad is that - two glasses and I am a wreck. We have a 1st birthday party to go to today so I had better get some energy happening!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Jem
